That all looks correct, except that I have no idea where the build/lib
directory came from. "setup.py install" should have copied the "spambayes"
subdirectory from your "/opt/spambayes-cvs/spambayes" source directory into
"site-packages".
I've never run this on a Linux/Unix-based system myself, and I don't know
what the distutils code may do differently based on environment conditions
such as permissions. Does the account from which you ran setup.py have
write permissions on your "site-packages" directory? Also try manually
removing the "spambayes" subdirectory in "site-packages" and see what, if
any, error message you get in that case.
